Answer 1

To jump move to the outside, toe or heel, whichever you prefer. Carve in hard towards the wake, don't let up. As you hit the wake, maintain your edge and stand-up hard, not jump. If done correctly, you will pop right off the water.

From there you just need to practice. If your still having trouble and you have a good wakeboard( and a 3-stage can give you more pop, but is usually a more advanced board), consider buying some videos and/or look into a training session somewhere to improve your technique.

One other thing to mention, you need a shorter rope than if you would ski unless your boat wake is large. Back at 75-85 there isn't as much wake.

You want to be around 65 feet. Not to mention this will also bring the distance you have to clear, smaller.

Lastly, you can add weight to the boat for a bigger wake.(ex)
